There are no upstream supported binaries.

CVS has no concept of a repository wide revision. So it's impossible to
tell anyway. The date of the snapshot is generally good enough. Even
upstream, people file bugs as "on trunk from yesterday" etc.

There really isn't much tweaking. This is intentional. The big
"tweaks" are pref tweaks and using system libaries of e.g. nspr, nss,
libjpeg, libpng, etc. instead of building a static copy into the
binaries, but these should in general be irrelevant to 99% of bugs
filed. Also the other big thing is we're using FF-as-a-XULRunner app
which upstream is excited about, and wants feedback on, but should not
have any different behavior.
Bottmon line: if anyone complains about you filing a bug on Fedora
builds, let me know. Because they shouldn't. It's no different from
any of the major contributors of FF doing self builds of Firefox
themselves and reporting bugs.
